Bioeconomy beyond technology Bioeconomy Innovation Ecosystem 1. The BBI JU and its 82 projects is much more than technology scaling and deployment it is also about policy, standards, sustainability, consumers & markets 2. Standards,& Markets Examine means of encouraging the uptake of biobased products e.g. green public procurement Analysis of the conditions for supporting industry investment is required, as well as the possible mechanisms for reducing their risk. Standards and certification global standards Incentives to stimulate market activity e.g. incentives for the valorisation of biological waste Industry cooperation for mutual benefit Need coordination and support actions (CSAs) e.g. policy, life cycle analysis, standards, certification, biomass supply Body Level One Develop standards Body Level for biobased Two and biodegradable products (CEN TC 411). Examine measures Body Level to allow Three efficient biobased resource mobilisation Body Level (sustainability Four criteria; costs, logistics, availability).

Taking the bioeconomy forward? The Bioeconomy Implementation Group The economic and environmental case for the bioeconomy is clear. The next step - how can the commercial viability of the bioeconomy can be extended and intensified? The Irish Government has decided to establish a high-level Implementation Group - jointly chaired by the Departments of Agriculture, Food and Marine and Communications, Climate Action and Environment. The group will bring forward recommendations to develop the bioeconomy further.

Conclusion The bioeconomy is consistent with Ireland's and the EU s low carbon transition objective. The bioeconomy has the potential to grow rural and regional businesses and jobs, and enhance competitiveness. The focus of future actions needs to be based around strengthening the commercial prospects for the bioeconomy in Ireland as a sustainability pathway to a low carbon, circular and climate resilient economy. Progress can be achieved by co-operation and collaboration between the public service, industry and the research institutes. Body Level One Body Level Two The National Policy Statement has concentrated on developing the key Body Level Three major pillars of the bioeconomy and ensuring that these receive the Body Level Four consistent attention Body Level of Five Government as Ireland moves towards the objective of a decarbonised economy by 2050. 21 An Roinn Talmhaíochta, Bia agus Mara Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
